Why Remove Users and Managers?

1. Employee Turnover: As businesses evolve, so does their personnel. Employees change roles, leave the company, or new team members join. Removing individuals who no longer require access safeguards your account from potential misuse.
2. Vendor Relationships: If you’ve collaborated with external agencies or consultants for specific campaigns, it’s essential to revoke access once the collaboration concludes. This prevents unauthorized access and potential breaches.
3. Account Cleanliness: Streamlining user access maintains a clean and organized account. This makes it easier to track changes, attribute actions to specific team members, and troubleshoot issues efficiently.
4. Security Breaches: In the unfortunate event of a security breach, limiting access to authorized personnel helps contain and address the situation promptly. Regularly auditing and removing unnecessary users is a proactive measure to mitigate risks.
